i dont think they need to replace juwan. he was doing fine until this season.
i still think it was jett. his own mom called him a problem a child. if hunter and kobe come back they should be good to go with some portal help.
if you put terrance shannon on this year's michigan team - which was signed, sealed, and delivered until the academic department vetoed it and he ended up at illinois - they're a tournament team for sure.
on the modern draft value chart, the value of the #3 pick is 514 points.
under the same chart, the value the lions gave up in that trade above is 829 points.
the panthers gave up 745 plus dj moore to go from 9 to 1. the lions would be giving up more draft capital just to move up 3 spots and not get the top pick.
pff is full of crap. theyre the same outlet that had us taking malik willis for months last year.
wallinder contract signed. coming to GR for the rest of the season. imagine they might have him penciled in for detroit next year. maybe at the halfway point next season?
depends on the price.
if hopkins is a one year rental, the price should be low, like a 5th round pick. sutton's price would be higher but he's younger. still, he's awfully pricey. maybe #55. more likely #81.
i'd rather deal #18 for simmons.
only issue would be whether you want to invest that much of your cap in simmons. i cant imagine a deal would get done until tennessee sees who is available at 6.
you figure the lions freed up all that cap space for something...
how do we know he has a history of not practicing or playing hard? internet rumors?
tryavon walker and jordan davis were high first rounders last year and carter was better than both of them at georgia.
if there is fire behind the smoke, they probably wont take him. but he is the best player in the draft by most accounts. having the best player in the draft fall to you for a second year in a row would be manna from heaven for the lions.
did you think sauce gardner was "sauce gardner pro bowl cb" at this time last year?
i'd be happy with christian gonzalez, will anderson, tyree wilson, or jalen carter at 6.
